57 -57: A Night of Tension and Excitement
“Are you looking for someone named Lan Tingting?” Liang Chuchu suddenly stood up and said.
“Do you know her?” At that moment, Xiang Yu and the others immediately stood up, as they had been through a lot today just to find Lan Tingting.
“She was just kidnapped last night, she was with me, and she said someone would definitely come to rescue her.
Because she’s pretty, I heard she’s going to be offered to a ‘Boxing King’ tomorrow night,” Liang Chuchu said.
“What ‘Boxing King’?” Xiang Yu pressed.
Liang Chuchu shook her head and said nothing else.
Xiang Yu didn’t press further and then gestured Ning Xiaolu to take her away.
“Yu, what do we do now?” Tie Zhuzi asked.
“Call Shi Jian, ask him how things are on his end, and if there’s no development, tell them to come back now,” Xiang Yu said, sitting on the sofa, deep in thought.
Barbaric, blood-soaked, ‘Boxing King’—Xiang Yu kept repeating these words, then suddenly he thought of something.
When Shi Jian and the others returned, it was midnight.
He didn’t bring back any useful information, his face was slightly flushed, and he stood there, head bowed, saying nothing.
“Jian, what’s wrong with you?” Tie Zhuzi asked, confused.
“Nothing, nothing,” Shi Jian quickly shook his head, but his demeanor clearly screamed trouble.
“Zhuzi, stop asking.
This kid probably couldn’t hold his ground and got cherry-popped,” Xiang Yu said with a laugh.
“Nonsense, nonsense…” Shi Jian didn’t know how to explain and became so flustered that his face turned beet red.
In the hotel, Shi Jian indeed hadn’t held his ground, but he hadn’t been deflowered.
When the other party took off their clothes, he couldn’t resist any longer and had surrendered just like that.
“Though we didn’t find the forced girl, I heard from that miss.
Quite a few forced people were sent from one place, seems like it’s Xinglong Hotel,” Shi Jian recalled the scene, and suddenly his lower body hardened, he quickly sat straight and coughed.
“Xinglong Hotel?” Xiang Yu was familiar with this hotel.
He had followed some classmates there once for a free meal and had also saved Fang Rong.
At the time, he felt the hotel was not simple, and it looks like it indeed has some issues.
“You two, investigate Xinglong Hotel’s background now, also, Shi Jian, contact Yan Bin first thing tomorrow morning.
Tell him, starting tomorrow, I want to fight in underground boxing,” Xiang Yu said.
“What?
Underground boxing?” Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi exclaimed in unison.
They hadn’t attended the meeting with the few top guys just now and didn’t know Xiang Yu had placed a bet with Yan Bin.
Now that they had both money and manpower, Shi Jian really didn’t understand why Xiang Yu suddenly decided to fight underground boxing.
“Have you gone mad?
Why would you suddenly decide to fight underground boxing?
Do you know the kind of people in underground boxing?
Those are desperate souls ready to die for money and people often get killed…”
Shi Jian hadn’t finished speaking when Xiang Yu raised his hand to stop him, and then he explained his gambling arrangement with Yan Bin.
Both Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi were speechless, clearly seeing Yan Bin’s devious trick, yet Xiang Yu was knowingly falling for it.
“Yu, let me fight on your behalf,” Tie Zhuzi stood up, unsure whether he could win, but he wouldn’t just watch Xiang Yu walk into his demise.
“Zhuzi, stop talking, I’ll go,” Shi Jian lit a cigarette and took a deep inhale, his voice grave.
After all, he had practiced for a few years, and if he trained a bit, fighting for a few days should be no problem.
“You two, stop pretending to be profound here and go investigate for me,” Xiang Yu said, slapping Shi Jian on the head.
“No, I cannot let you go,” Shi Jian said as he looked at Tie Zhuzi, and then the two of them stood up and walked out.
Throughout the night, Xiang Yu did not sleep; he kept waiting for the news from Shi Jian and his companion.
It was only around five in the morning when Shi Jian and his companion returned.
Neither of them looked tired, still full of energy.
“We found out everything, the Xinglong Hotel is actually a transit point.
There’s this organization, they conduct underground transactions in secret, all transactions are connected through the influence of Xinglong Hotel.
This underground organization not only kidnaps girls to sell, but also traffics organs, having dealings with many hospitals and funeral homes,” Shi Jian said, frowning.
Even though they had been involved in the underworld before, they had never imagined such a vile organization could exist.
“Is the intel reliable?” Xiang Yu asked, his eyes growing cold.
To think such an organization existed, and right in the city too; what were the police even doing?
No wonder Mr.
Cao had sent him here; had the city descended into such darkness?
The fact that personal safety couldn’t even be guaranteed was truly chilling to think about.
“The information came from ‘Mole’.
They only recognize money, as long as there is money, they can get any information,” Shi Jian explained.
Xiang Yu nodded.
The three of them had not slept all night; too much had happened, but none of them felt sleepy.
At about 8:30 in the morning, Ning Xiaolu brought Liang Chuchu to find Xiang Yu.
Liang Chuchu was much better now, and promptly thanked Xiang Yu when she saw him.
“Do you remember where you were held captive?” Xiang Yu asked.
Liang Chuchu thought for a moment, “It should be in the suburbs.
I was blindfolded at the time, but I vaguely saw a very tall tower outside, the kind at a chemical plant.
The roads were uneven, and there was a chemical smell.
When I got out of the car, it felt like I was being taken to a basement; it was damp and sunless.”
“Suburbs, chemical factory,” Tie Zhuzi brought over a map and spread it on the table.
“There aren’t many chemical factories around the city, just three industrial parks.
These three industrial parks occupy three locations, among which these two are thriving, and the products they make don’t use industrial towers.
“The one in the southeast, due to severe pollution and poor production, the local villagers drove them out.
I think what she just described is likely this place.”
“How do you know so much about these industrial parks?” Shi Jian patted Tie Zhuzi on the shoulder.
Tie Zhuzi just chuckled, “I used to work at a factory, and I’ve been to these places.”
Xiang Yu nodded, then turned to Liang Chuchu and asked, “Do you think Lan Tingting could have been given as a reward to Boxing King?”
Liang Chuchu nodded quickly, she had heard very clearly.
They had seen Lan Tingting and thought she was pretty, wanting to lay hands on her, but one of the underbosses stopped them.
At the time, the underboss had said that someone had already reserved her, and she had to be intact.
They all understood what ‘intact’ meant.
Being intact meant untouched, which naturally fetched a higher price.
This meant that, until tonight, Lan Tingting was still safe…
